Environmental Noise and Vibration Assessments Services

Increasingly, noise and vibration emitted into the environment are being defined as contaminants by regulators – similar to chemical or particulate pollutants.  As an owner, operator or developer of a project with equipment that can produce noise or vibration, you likely have legal responsibilities to obtain permits or approvals before building or operating the equipment.

Construction Vibration Monitoring and Assessments Services

Ground-borne vibration can be a significant by-product of construction activities such as pile driving shoring and heavy equipment use on site. These activities can cause damage to adjacent buildings, notably heritage structures, and adversely impact vibration sensitive high-technology equipment nearby such as MRIs, Laser Eye technology, and Electron Microscopes. It can also create discomfort and annoyance for building occupants.
